Mr. Speaker, the member has acknowledged that the national government has a role to play. We are footing the bill to the tune of $16 billion.
On the one hand he is suggesting that we should have no national input, and on the other hand his leader is saying: "Turn it over to the provinces".
What we want and what the Prime Minister is trying to do is to go to the Canadian Hospital Association, to go to the Canadian Nurses Association, to involve the Canadian Public Health Association, to involve the players who are delivering the service on the ground, to see if there is a way that we can spend our $16 billion investment a bit smarter.
